One comment to that story says, "People with nunchucks and a knife were in the centre."
Ooooohhh, scary!! Living in East Tennessee, I see men with knives clipped to their pockets every single day, I carry one myself, a nice flip blade Spyderco. It's for utility purposes...opening boxes, topping tomato plants, cleaning my nails... all knife stuff.
In fact, in my circle of friends, about half of them legally conceal carry firearms... it's just a fact of life here. No one goes crazy over it, and police here understand that any citizen they encounter might be armed. It's legal, except for felons and violent offenders.
So the response to "nunchucks and a knife" seems like an outrageous comedy, like a Keystone Kops movie.
Unfortunately not even allowed a pocket knife here. Farmer's even get threatened 🤦🤷 Anyone who farms something knows you need one at all times. I accidentally forgot one in my handbag. Flew from regional NSW to Sydney, to Qld and only coming back it got *scanned 😂🫣 glad it wasn't a pricey one
Wow. I would feel absolutely naked in a society like that. I remember on all my trips to the UK, the first thing I'd do is "liberate" a steak knife or even a spoon with a pointy end opposite the spoon-end to serve as a weapon as I traveled about. I never got stopped or searched or scanned, lucky I guess. The steak knife might have been a littler harder to explain, but a spoon? Hehehe....
Oh great… because of your post….
“Oi mate! Got a license for that spoon?”
Heheh... well how about something that is quite ubiquitous, an umbrella? Sharpen the metal end to a point and use it as a stabbing device.
